@Grumblevolcano Xenoblade X just needs a better manual and better instructions. The manual for X was flat out awful, where figuring out how to properly use Overdrive was a royal pain in the ass.

Torna better be improving tutorials too. Since it'll also play slightly differently from the base game, that'll be important to have.

Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill

@EvilLucario Forget the tutorials, Torna needs to fix/remove the RNG character encounters/quest activation/field skill junk. I realize the game should be a very short, small game compared to the main game, and yet, it really needs that improvement (and I'm not sure how the original idea got off the design floor as implemented.) I'm still hoping beyond hope the redesign allowing playable blades fixes character progression. Monolith has such a strength at world building, storytelling, character development. They're even decent at combat systems. But they are unquestionably dismal when it comes to character progression mechanics, questing, and hooks. I would legit take FFXIII over some of the funky design choices Monolith makes. At least on rails you're still moving forward.

Ouch lmao

From what I remember there won't be bonding with Blades and much field skills though. There's only three party members total with only 2 Blades max after all.

I think MCC may have set a new record for the largest update ever, 73.7GB. You're not getting anywhere close to that number on Switch even with the increase of partial physical versions.

@Grumblevolcano Thats just the UPDATE?

What did they do fix it by remaking the entire thing? God imagine it with 4k assets and the original game underneath

@Grumblevolcano Do you get an extra TB with the patch too? I don't even own a game that's 73GB, let alone an update of that size!

They want games to fit on Blu-Rays and be 4k, it's not happening, not even on UHD Blu-Ray.

Swear to God, people moan about Switch games not being all on cart but discs have been doing this for years because it's simply unfeasible and even then they install anyway.

The PS5 and Xbox....fgruvubvuber need to come with 10TB HDDs minimum. You can barely fit a decent selection of games on a One X.

I'll help you out.

You wander around aimlessly through empty Victorian streets looking for lamps so you can level up before you lose all of your souls. You repeat this process ad nauseam. Occasionally you come across a boss who you're supposed to kill for no apparent reason. Once in a great while, you'll come across another intelligent being who proceeds to utter cryptic nonsense. Between divining what those mean and intuiting the "lore" of the world from item descriptions (because, as I've discovered, you don't need a comprehensible plot when you have LOOOOOOOOOOOOORE to keep you goin'), you experience the thrilling plot. Or, more likely, you watch "lore videos" made by bored youtubers because no normal person has the time to try and piece this pretentious nonsense together and then run around the internet talking about this game's "amazing lore," automatically giving you internet cred as a pro gamer.

Wait, that went off-track, didn't it?

@Knuckles-Fajita @Octane It is just the update, MCC was already a drain on hard drive space before this update. Really puts the Switch situation in context, stuff like the 8GB DOOM multiplayer update is nothing in comparison.

But still I'm glad it's being properly fixed.

@Grumblevolcano Over one fifth of a One S HDD can be taken up by ONE GAME?!

My God....

Yeah it only took 4 years to be fixed...no wonder why...

The biggest advantage of UHD Blu-ray is the read speed. Capacity is still the same 50GB for dual layered, though it supports up to 100GB. There are a few optical discs that go over a TB. Maybe we're all playing on quartz discs by the time the PS5 comes around, 300+ TB of storage. Just kidding, I meant PS50.

Is the MCC update for the 4K textures, because if so I hope it's not necessary. I remember the hours it took to download the TV episodes for Quantum Break which I think was about 60 to 70GB.

My God....

Let's apply a little bit of sense and perspective - it's not one game, it's a collection of 4.

Not looking forward to that download though. It certainly renders the disc version of the game fairly obsolete, assuming the update is any good. I forget, does XB1 force game updates or are they optional?

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

Just watched the credits roll on Okami HD, with a total playtime just under 40 hours.

It's an absolute steal at $20 too. Definitely in the upper echelon of Switch games as far as I've played.

This is cool, and great advertising for The Messenger!

@Ralizah
Saw that video earlier. That's classic. They seem really flattered that they inspired a generation of gamers 30 years later, with The Messenger paying homage to their claim to fame.
